Review:

"[WCIV is] an accessible and clearly written, well organized textbook that does a great job integrating primary source documents and internet resources.... I would feel confident that my students could get the necessary information out of the text and that it would support and reinforce my class lectures."

"I would be likely to encourage my students to go through the student review cards and the Reasons Why features. I would use the what do you think feature in leading discussion and perhaps to review some material before an exam."

"...this is a solid, concise, well written and highly readable history."
